A deba is a thick, heavy, traditional single-bevel knife used for fish. It makes it possible to slice off the head and separate the flesh from the backbone in one clean, precise stroke. It is also used for chopping, effortlessly, thanks to its weight.
This blade is made from shirogami 2, “No. 2 white steel,” from Hitachi. This is the non-stainless steel of purists, recognized for its qualities and used by the greatest blacksmiths for the best knives.
The kataba blade is very hard, but can be sharpened easily and will retain its edge for a long time.
The handle is made from magnolia wood with a ferrule of real buffalo horn.
IMPORTANT:
The 90/10 bevelled blade is for right-handed use only.
The blade requires special care to prevent rust.
